What English expression do you hate the most?

[Drago]

P, as in Ten P, Fifty P, etc.

It's not PEE, it's pence.

P, as in Ten P, Fifty P, etc.

It's not PEE, it's pence.

In fact it's New Pence. I remember when they brought these strange new coins into school. They definitely had New Pence written on them.

Lazy young people these days can't be bothered with the full name.

 

[Tribansman]

Bantz (for banter)
Easy mate
Chill out

'Easy mate, chill out - it's only bantz'

 

[Profpointy]

The auberge field is back firing …

Is that really a saying? And if so WTF is it supposed to mean?

 

[Profpointy]

Pukka.

Actually I'd take a pukka pie over the over complicated 'bit of this' and 'bit of that' shite he serves up any day

If you're objecting to pukka, presumably bungalow, veranda, jodhpur, doolalli, etc are out as well

 

[Dogtrousers]

P, as in Ten P, Fifty P, etc.

It's not PEE, it's pence.

Here's a record that I remember from the early 80s that you might like.

Funny that it's much tamer than I remember it.

Pukkah is a fine word we appreciated.
Pukkah was a regional brand of pies. Along with Clarke's.
There was a time when we avoided pubs that sold Clarke's pies. There were rumours about what went in them. Also they seemed linger in those warmed cabinets for ages.
Some regulations have some value

I was driven into by a Clarke's van full of pies.

What's your pie memory

 

[Drago]

Fam.

I mean, WTAF?

 

[Gunk]

Bantz (for banter)

I can’t bear the word “Banter” it’s shorthand for taking the piss

 

[stephec]

Fam.

I mean, WTAF?

You like famalam then? 😂

 

[lazybloke]

"and now, a party political broadcast"

'Cheap as chips.' Chips aren't cheap, they're at least £2 these days.

'Pukkah' is actually a Hindi word that has made it's way into English!

 

[multitool]

Bit 80's this one:

"Common or garden"

...wtf did it even mean? Was the sort of expression people like Russell Harty would use

So is bungalow and pyjamas but has not much to do with the name chosen for a very indifferent pie maker
